As reported in CNA, over 60,000 civil servants in Singapore will not be getting any mid-year annual variable component this year. The Public Service Division said this is due to the uncertain economic outlook.
The Ministry of Trade and Industry has maintained this year's GDP growth forecast at -6 to -9 per cent.
The decision of not having a mid-year payment for civil servants, together with cuts made previously, will see annual civil service salaries this year drop by six per cent to 21 per cent compared to 2008. Those in senior positions will receive the largest reduction.
'The annual pay of civil servants is pegged to pay levels in the private sector. The AVC is a component in the flexible wage structure that is adjusted to reflect economic conditions,' said the statement.

Why don't they give civil servant jobs level to private sector too?
Primary job + secondary appointments + national defences + admin stuff
